Manufacture of PVDF-Kitosan Composite Membrane and its Utilization in Batik Industrial Wastewater Treatment.

摘要

ABSTRACT Generally, the purpose of this research is to improve the hydrophilic properties of polyvinylidene fluoride membranes (PVDF) by blending technology using a hydrophilic polymer, chitosan. More specifically, this research aimed to determine the physical characteristics (morphology and size of porous) of PVDF membrane blended chitosan and the influence of chitosan concentration and stirring temperature of a membrane casting solution against mechanical strength and the performance of the m.
